Time's up! The eggs have been found, and I can now reveal that the two winners are:
- Rades - who sent in his answers first after every update to the list, and even tweeted about the final egg being confirmed before I did! If I wasn't so impressed with his egg-finding I'd accuse him of hacking my email :P
and
- Poneria - was the second to send a complete and correct list (in a spreadsheet no less)
Congratulations and well done! I'll put you both in contact with Mason to arrange your prizes.
It was a very tight race, and special mention has to go to Heather, Jaedia, Anea, Iaaiv and Tarinae - you all did so well and thanks for your entries! I'm sorry I couldn't offer more prizes.
Some of the eggs were hidden so well, I have no idea how people managed to find them. Some of the most difficult included Pugging Pally, who stumped a few people by the sounds of it, and WoW Philosophised who linked his Creative Commons License to a Sprite Darter Egg - well done to all who managed to find that one! Which one had you stumped?
Thanks are due to all the bloggers out there who joined in and hid an egg - I recommend you drop by the blogs in the list and maybe add a few to your feedreader - they are the real treasure in this hunt after all!
Also thanks are due to all the WoW Twitterati who re-tweeted the #wowegghunt tweets for me. You're awesome! Also Blog Azeroth and the Twisted Nether Blogcast for helping me gather bloggers :)
I'm interested in hearing your feedback if you decided not to enter the competition - was there too many blogs to look through? Were the eggs too well-hidden? I realise a lot of people may have been away or too busy over the long weekend, but the list is still here so stop by a few blogs and check out the eggs :)
Here's the full list of all the egg locations. I've borrowed Poneria's spreadsheet:
